Bacon Barbecue Hot Dogs with Cheddar Cheese or Some Days are Just Like This

I thought my carefully planned system failed me. This dinner was supposed to be chicken breasts. It is obviously not chicken breasts. I had a huge package of chicken breasts in the refrigerator that I bought the other day. I asked my son to go get the chicken from the fridge and when he opened the door he told me there was no chicken in the refrigerator. What? I know there is a huge tray of 8-10 pounds. No. No chicken in the refrigerator.

It was in the freezer. My partner was helping and saw that the meat needed to be wrapped and frozen so she put it away before she went to work. Ooops. So it is 6:00 pm and I needed a dinner, now. Open fridge and freezer and begin a scavenger hunt. Hot dogs, bacon, barbecue sauce and cheddar cheese! It is a meal.

Verdict:

So, we didn’t order out, we had dinner together and it was easy to make. So, even though it wasn’t what I had planned the system didn’t fall entirely apart. I had the ingredients on hand to make something else. We had dinner on the table within 35 minutes. The kids were happy because it was hot dogs. They kept saying we haven’t had hot dogs in forever so they were happy too.
